2 Ways to Pimp an Avocado – Avocado Hummus & Avocado Cookies

Ingredients

Perfect for dipping or sandwich/wrap spreads.

  • 1.5 large ripe, soft avocado
  • 15oz (1 can) chickpeas drained
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1.5 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tbsp cumin
  • juice from 1 lime
  • sea salt

Steps

Step 1

Place chickpeas, 1 garlic clove, juice from 1 lime and 1.5 tbsp olive oil in a food processor and blend until the consistency is smooth, or there are no chunks.

Step 2

Then add 1/2 tbsp cumin and 1.5 large ripe avocado (or 2 medium avocados) and blend until smooth. Add sea salt to taste. To keep the amount of fat at a minimum, I suggest adding more lime juice if it is too thick. Otherwise, add in 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil and blend until it is smooth.
